Lidsville is Sid and Marty Krofft's third television show following H.R. Pufnstuf (1969) and The Bugaloos (1970). As did its predecessors, the series combined two.
Like most children's television shows of the era, Lidsville contained a laugh track. The show involved a teenage boy named Mark (Butch Patrick) who fell into the hat of Merlo the Magician (Charles Nelson Reilly) following his show at Six Flags Over Texas and arrived in Lidsville, a land of living hats. The hats on the show are depicted as having the same characteristics as the humans who would normally wear them.
For example, a cowboy hat would act and speak like a cowboy. The characters' houses were also hat- shaped. The villain of the show was a magician named Horatio J. Hoo. Doo (also played by Charles Nelson Reilly in a magician's costume and make- up). The vain, short- tempered, but somewhat naive Hoo.
Doo flew around in his Hatamaran, blasting the good citizens of Lidsville with bolts of magic (referred to as "zapping") and keeping them in fear, demanding that they pay him their Hat Checks. Mark helped the good hats resist as he attempted to find a way back home. Hoo. Doo, trying to reclaim control of the androgynous Weenie from Mark, often enlisted the services of four Bad Hats. In his high hat home, Hoo.
Doo was besieged by the taunting music of the Hat Band, as well as all of his talking knicknacks (the parrot, Mr. Skull, the mounted alligator head, the sawed- in- half lady, etc.). Hoo. Doo also experienced further aggravation at the hands of his aides, the dimwitted Raunchy Rabbit and his two- faced card guard Jack of Clubs. Hoo. Doo watched the action going on in downtown Lidsville from his hat home by using his Evil Eye, a device similar to a TV set that resembled an eyeball. He also had a hot hatline phone. The show relied on an endless array of puns based on hats. One such pun was "Derby Dunes," an area in Lidsville which sand dunes were shaped like derby hats.
Mark, a suspected spy against Hoo. Doo on behalf of the good hat people, was captured at Derby Dunes by Hoo.
Doo's minions the Bad Hats the moment he had fallen into the world of Lidsville. He escapes from his clutches alongside a genie named Weenie (Billie Hayes). Many of the episodes were about Mark trying to get back home, but the evil Hoo. Doo prevented him from leaving. Weenie, being a nervous bumbler, was, in fact, a genie, but many of the tricks and spells didn't work right anymore after being a slave to Hoo.
Doo for so long. In the show's final episode, scenes from some of the past episodes were featured as Hoo. Doo's mother (played by Muriel Landers, but not listed in the closing credits) had paid a visit to find out what has been going on in Lidsville while making sure that her son is still bad. Unfortunately for Mark, he did not return home at the end. Music was also a part of the show, with songs being performed by the characters in several episodes.
